Abstract

The resistance to classical music of new generations can be  overcome by using the innovative potential of music education institutions in the  formation of musical taste. Innovations in music education most effectively avoid  conservatism masquerading as tradition. The review of some main authors helps to outline the circle of the main agents of musical education with a direct influence on the perception of classical music. Their innovation potential can be defined as  fundamental in this context. These are the Institutions of higher musical education, Music creators (composers and performers), the State with its cultural policy, the  Institutions of secondary education, the Family, Specific institutions, the Market and Society with its culture. Technology makes it possible for them to find opportunities to move from “educational pressure” to an effective approach to teaching in this direction in a number of ways. The success of this approach contributes to bringing the sound of the orchestra and the complex polyphonic line of classical music closer to different audiences and, in turn, contributes to the modernity of the tradition preserved in the new age of high technology and artificial intelligence as a new social reality.
